T-Shirts for Readers

On the blog Deaf Characters in Adolescent Literature (thanks to Besty over at A Fuse #8 Production for the link), there is a great interview with author Sarah Miller in which she is pictured in a t-shirt with a strikingly familiar pigeon. I just had to find that shirt! After a bit of searching I found a great site with T-shirts for those of us who love to read. Check out Wonder-Shirts and get yourself a beauty with illustrations by Mo Willems (Driven to Read), Betsy Lewin (Click, Clack, Read), Kevin Henkes and more. I must admit that the teacher in me is crazy about the Miss Viola Swamp shirt.

I have the tee-shirt of Lilly on a stack of books with eight of her best friends ... reading. It's the one that says, "Share Books With Friends" found on this page:http://www.wonder-shirts.com/illustrator-detail.aspx?illid=6

Maybe you don't know many 67-year-olds who wear shirts like this, full of books and reading? Well, I really wear my book shirts, often. One of mine says, "I'm a bookie." Two (of different colors) say "Book Buddies" beside a stack of embroidered books ... okay, this was because I owned a bookstore by that name.
